Healthcare Facilities Healthcare facilities are places or institutions that offer


healthcare services. There are different types of healthcare facilities (Meeks, et al.,
2011).

a. Hospital It is an institution where people undergo medical diagnosis, care and


treatment. A hospital offers different types of medical care like inpatient and
outpatient care. Inpatient care refers to care given to individuals who need to
stay inside the hospital to receive proper treatment, monitoring and care. On
the other hand, outpatient care refers to treatment that does not require an
individual to stay inside the hospital.

There are different kinds of hospitals: private, voluntary, government,


and teaching (Meeks, et al., 2011). A private hospital is operated by individuals
to gain profit. A voluntary hospital does not require profit because it is owned
by a community or an organization. A government or public hospital is being
run by the state and the treatment fees are subsidized. A teaching hospital
includes a school for medical students. In the Philippines, there are two
classifications of hospitals: general and specialty. General hospitals have
complete medical, surgical, and maternal care facilities. Some examples are
the Philippine General Hospital, Baguio General Hospital, Cebu General
Hospital, and Davao Medical Center. On the other hand, specialty hospitals
handle a particular disease or condition or deal with only one type of patient.
Some examples are the Philippine Heart Center, Lung Center of the
Philippines, and National Kidney Transplant Institute.

b. Walk-In Surgery Center It is a facility that offers surgery without the patient being
admitted in the hospital.

c. Health Center The services in a health center cater to a specific population with
various health needs.

d. Extended Healthcare Facility A facility that provides treatment, nursing care, and
residential services to patients, often the elderly.
